Properties and Shapes

Francis Gonzalez Patricia Camacho

** Shape ** Shape refers to the configuration of surfaces and edges of a two- or three-dimensional object. We perceive shape by contour or silhouette.

** The **** 2D figures ** A rectangle is a parallelogram whose four sides at right angles to each other.
 * Rectangle:**

A square is a parallelogram with four equal sides and four angles are also equal and straight. A triangle is a polygon defined by three intersecting lines. The points of intersection of the lines are the vertex and line segments are the sides of the triangle. A circle is the geometric curve flat, closed, whose points are equidistant from the center. Is a design element in a curved or polygonal, that covers the open space between two walls. Placing all the burden on the bow at the supports. ** The 3D figures ** A cube is a solid object in the form of box having six identical square faces.
 * Square**:
 * Triangle**:
 * Circle:**
 * Arch:**
 * Cube:**

A pyramid is a polyhedron whose base is any polygon and whose lateral faces are triangles with a common vertex called "the vertex of the pyramid."
 * Pyramid:**

A sphere is a solid figure bounded by a closed curved surface whose points are equidistant from the center of the sphere.
 * Sphere:**

A cylinder surface is formed by the points at a fixed distance from a given straight line, the cylinder axis. ** Use of Shapes ** In Architecture and Urban Planning shapes are essential because are the beginning of any design and affect the structure and the spaces of a project.
 * Cylinder:**
